G'day,

> A converted one car garage actually......hardly a hall...)

Not wanting to drag the list off topic too much I wouldn't mind hearing more
details. It sounds impressive from John's descriptions and after seeing a
mates gaming palace* Derek and I are slowing drawing up plans for a gaming
room in our house when ever we actually get enough money together to buy the
land and build it (old age project I fear!).

*I'm not joking this thing takes up half the lower floor of his house! Just to
give you a taste of what Barry's room is like he has 2 permanent waist
high tables (which can each take 2+ geohex mats each) with edging to
prevent figures and terrain skittering off and under the tables are draws and
compartments for a couple of complete sets of geohex terrain (sorry if this
has been asked before but is anyone picking up the geohex terrain with kr
closing?), thousands of games and other paraphernalia (he has one whole set of
draws for dice!). The room is lined with bookshelves or specifically made
figure storage cabinets and at one end there is a small computer network. Lets
just say I was dumbfounded the first time I saw it!!!!

Cheers

Well it is not that impressive I merely in closed the garage "removed the door
and put up wall and window". I have two 4'x8' tables as well as various
shelving and storage containers on casters below the tables. There is also a
large walk in closet with more shelves. I have a standard steel desk for
working and all my
Geo-hex is
stored in boxes on shelves hanging sapended from the ceiling. And once I clean
up
all my ever-never-done projects I'll set up a game and take some
photos....)

I have to keep my "Game room" portable (2 30"x72" tables). Those, with the
family room table give me a 60"X100" playing surface. As to Geohex, KR is
"re-structuring", I'm sure that there will be some presence in the
future. I would be picking up more, but I have @ 3 cubic meters of the stuff
(NOT kidding!!, it would fill the back of my Dodge Caravan with the seats
out).

Somehow I think it'd take more than coloration to make that mistake....

Having just about read all Mary Gentle's Grunts now though I'm starting to
really like the idea of getting some truly green marines;)
